OCC Blasts Debanking Instances by JPMorgan, Others in Report
The OCC reviewed nearly 100,000 complaints and said broad reputation-risk policies lacked clear standards and disadvantaged some Americans.
- On Wednesday, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency released a report finding that nine major banks restricted financial services between 2020 and September 2025 based on customers' political or religious beliefs.
- Regulators launched this review last year following an August 2025 executive order from President Donald Trump directing officials to examine alleged 'politicized or unlawful debanking' practices.
- Banks utilized internal 'reputation risk' rules to close accounts for conservative organizations, flagging terms like 'MAGA' and applying designations from the Southern Poverty Law Center to assess customer relationships.
- OCC Comptroller Jonathan Gould called the findings 'irrefutable evidence' of discrimination, while Acting Director Mark Paoletta of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced a separate investigation into the institutions' compliance.
- Gould expressed skepticism that recent bank reforms will prevent recurrence of these practices, warning they 'may not go far enough' and noting the OCC will assess further regulatory and supervisory changes.
